Re: And the cap is......

If your only ISP is Satellite, I'm willing to wager they're outside even 3G data coverage as well. Otherwise, they'd have hopped off satellite and moved to 3G already. Getting additional speed towards the same low cap isn't exactly what home broadband users would be looking for.

Capped wireless service > capped satellite service with 900ms of latency

Which is exactly what I said about 3G. Upgrading existing towers to "4G" LTE isn't going to expand coverage - just offer additional speed at additional cost. So, this service's target audience would be people already covered by 3G service.

Actually, the 700MHz spectrum that LTE uses propagates further than current 3G spectrum. So, there would be increased coverage with existing towers.

Is the increased coverage noteworthy, or are we talking a matter of a few feet per tower?
